"Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause of death worldwide. After AMI, clinical restauration of blood flow aggravates tissue damage (Ischemia/Reperfusion, I/R injury), critically decreasing the number of viable cardiomyocytes (CMs). Besides CMs, other myocardial cell populations such as cardiac stem/progenitor cells (CSCs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) play key roles in tissue pathology and regeneration upon AMI. Several studies have demonstrated the relevant role of endogenous CSCs in myocardial repair after I/R injury, supported by the establishment of a paracrine cross talk between CSCs and the injured tissue(...)".
